Story
Chloe Grace, a sweet and affectionate 5 yr old Cocker Spaniel-Pug mix who loves playing and cuddling. Since returning from campus in August, I have been searching for a loving, permanent home for her. She currently has multiple unexplained lumps, and due to household conflicts and limited financial resources as the only one in the house that still wants her here, I am unable to keep her or afford her medical care. Because of family pressure, she urgently needs a direct rehoming. She deserves a peaceful forever home with someone who has the time and resources to give her the dedicated care she needs. She's such a sweet girl, perfect for families with children or seniors.

Story
Gypsy is a 6-year-old Chiweenie looking for a patient and loving home. She came from a difficult situation where she was rescued from abuse and later experienced the loss of her owner. Despite her history, Gypsy has adapted amazingly well; she is a loving soul who just wants to be loved unconditionally.Gypsy is:• House trained• Friendly with other dogs and cats• Playful with toys and enjoys going for walks• Non-aggressive and affectionateBarking is currently Gypsy's biggest challenge. She barks at things outside, moving cars, and sometimes when new people first arrive (though she settles after a bit). She also gets upset and barks if a door is closed between her and her person. Because she can be insecure and anxious, she needs a patient family who will help her feel safe and loved forever.

Bean LOVES all people. She is incredibly snuggly and just wants her own people to cuddle on the couch with.Bean is a little bit wrecking ball, a little bit prissy princess, and a whole lot of perfect pocket pittie couch potato.Will throw herself at her people full of love and kisses, but refuses to go out in the rain and hates being cold. Has spurts of zoomie energy but is 90% couch potato. Loves car rides and just wants to be with her people as much as possible. She'd make a GREAT long haul trucker or rv companion, or an apartment or home dog. She's very nearly perfect!1-2 years oldpetite 40-45 pounds.house trainedused to walking on a leashQuickly learns basic commandsLoves toys that she can squeak, chase, and chew, walks, car rides, and her people.up to date on vaccines, heartworm prevention, and spayed.Dog selective; not cat tested, but cats not recommended due to high prey drive.She's not a fan of young kids; recommended for teens and up.

Story
PLEASE CONSIDER SWEET, FUNNY, PEOPLE-LOVING UZI! ❤️🐾 HE REALLY NEEDS A HOME!Uzi just had a great checkup including shots, nails trimmed, and he's started medication to help with anxiety. His vet recommends a home with room to play and burn off energy.We've had 3 applications but 1 wanted puppy, 1 dropped, 1 wanted a different type of dog. Uzi is still waiting for his loving home!He's house and crate trained, knows sit, down, shake, and fist bump! He loves cuddling, looking out windows, and being with his people. He's energetic and would make a great walking or running partner.Uzi is smart and trainable! He spent 10 days with a professional trainer and made great progress. He needs continued work on leash walking and recall. Trainer contact available. See video!Uzi likes other dogs, is not aggressive, and would likely do well with older kids who can handle his enthusiasm.With love, exercise, and continued training, Uzi will be an amazing lifelong friend! Please give him a chance! ❤️

Story
My sister got Tempest not long before her wedding, she moved out leaving tempest with me and my fiancé at my dads house without consulting us, and said she couldn’t take her because her husbands mother didn’t want her in her house as she is living with her now. We did not want nor could we take care of a dog as we both work whilst saving up for our wedding and we simply can’t give her the attention she needs and deserves. Even though we didn’t plan on having her we did grow to love her, and we’ll miss her. Shes energetic and loves being played with as well as taking walks. She is mostly leash trained but does try to run to other dogs and sniff things. Me and my fiancé are getting married in March of next year and we really need to find her another home before then. When we move out and are in our own place we won’t be able to care for her and have only been able to up till now with my dad’s help. We just want her to have a better life with a family who can spend more time with her.

Story
I got Nala as a puppy five years ago. She is a Labrador retriever pit mix. Nala is a very playful active and loyal dog who enjoys cuddles and pets. She needs a backyard with a fence to roam around as she please. She does fine in the house but has a problem with marking territory and using the bathroom in the cage occasionally.
